@SteelersWin109 I don’t care where he went to college. I do care that he never won a big game in college and we have another guy that won a Natty and hasn’t gotten a real chance yet.
On this day, 115 years ago, together as a city, we persuaded the U.S. Board on Geographic Names to give us back our "H" after 20 long years of spelling it "Pittsburg".
Some of the events that happened in our city while it was spelled without its coveted "H" are -
- The 1st World Series ever
- Pirates win 1909 World Series
- First Hockey Game
- First Pro Football Game
- The PittsburG Zoo opens
- The Carnegie Museum opens
- PittsburG Brewing is formed
- The world's 1st Movie Theater opens on Smithfield St.
- Allegheny City & PittsburG merge to form one city.
- Forbes Field opens
- Kennywood opens (ha!)

Pennsylvania lawmakers spent $2 million on food over 2.5 years
🚨 Democrat Senator Vince Hughes from Philadelphia spent almost $80,000 just on catered Tuesday lunches
He bought coconut chicken tenders with mango apricot sauce, baked salmon, boneless pork chops and assorted cheesecakes for himself and staff. $80,000 worth….
“On at least 7 of these days, Vince Hughes also got reimbursed through per diems for meals, which Senate policy prohibits”
“But here's the thing. There's no actual limit on food spending at the Capitol, as long as it serves a legislative purpose, however you want to interpret that — Experts say lawmakers should be more careful with their food spending”
But it doesn’t stop there, I found a bunch more examples of this insane spending on food that taxpayers are paying for
Sen. Rosemary Brown spent $11,100 on a hosted brunch
Congress House leadership and conferences spent over $122,000 on Chick-fil-A alone in recent years
California politicians burned through campaign donations on luxury hotel stays, overseas trips and high-end meals. In one year tracked, over $1 million went to fancy restaurants and entertainment like steak dinners, wine and more
Michigan lawmakers and officials received close to $500,000 in free lobbyist-paid food and drinks in a single year
Members of Congress used leadership PAC funds for lavish meals at spots like Joe’s Seafood Prime Steak & Stone Crab and Charlie Palmer Steak. They spent tens of thousands on upscale seafood, steaks and more in just a few months
We are ruled by criminals
Portland Police announce they don’t have the staff to handle emergency 911 calls and it’s taking over 40 minutes to respond
🚨 A woman was just forced to hold off a naked homeless man trying to grab her 7 year old without police help because they were busy
“At 2.30am reporting a naked man harassing people in Waterfront Park. This escalated to an alleged attempt to grab a 7-year-old girl out of her parents' arms. The bureau says its officers were tied up with a barricaded suspect a mile away”
“Earlier this month, a group of women held back an alleged attacker for 40 minutes until help arrived.”
Democrats in Portland have been “defunding the police” they’ve approved about $21 million in cuts and hundreds of positions
Portland now has one of the lowest officer-to-resident ratios among major U.S. cities at 1.26 per 1,000 residents
Who needs enemies when you have Democrats
Just a friendly reminder to my friends older than 42:
You don’t have to put 2 spaces after the period anymore. That was for the typewriter era. You're free
